The five-year-old girl was at an age where she half understood things and half did not.
Lin Wan told her that mommy and daddy had gone to a very, very far place and it would be a very, very long time before they came back to see her.
At first, the little girl kept asking questions, but after the funeral, she stopped asking altogether.
Lin Wan was worried and unsure if the little girl understood what death meant.
Luckily, she didn't resist living with the Xu Family, but she just became clingier to Xu Jiayan.
Sometimes she would wake up in the middle of the night and run to Xu Jiayan's room with her little pillow.
Initially, Xu Jiayan would send her back to her room with a dark expression. The little girl would cling to the headboard of the bed and refuse to leave, or she would sneak back to his room when Xu Jiayan fell asleep.
Gradually, as it happened more often, Xu Jiayan became too lazy to make a fuss and would pretend not to see her when she sneaked in.
